Integrating People, Process, and Technology

Like the classics The One Minute Manager, Who Moved My Cheese, and Our Iceberg is Melting, Change Agents in Sunglasses is a “management fable,“ a short business book presenting ideas in a story.

The heroes are consultant Max Billing and five experienced managers leading change initiatives. The initiatives vary in scope and size, each involving a different mix of people, process, technology. What they discover is that technology is powerful. It’s expensive. It can distract you, seduce you even. Still, the people component of the enterprise poses the greatest challenges, and opportunities, for leaders.

Max Billing shows how the key to high performing enterprises continues to be the opinion leaders that work throughout the organization to help energize high performing teams. Often these individuals do not have formal leadership or management roles, It’s as if they work “under cover.” Max calls them Change Agents in Sunglasses.

Join Max Billing and his clients for a fun read and a trip through the three turnstiles – the Vision, the Plan, and the Decisions – that create enterprise excellence and successfully change in the information age.

Planning High Performance

Performance starts with leadership. This book poses six fundamental questions that enable a leader to take their enterprise to the next level. The concepts apply to every business in every industry, regardless of whether they are a start-up, established small businesses, or venerable multi-national.

1.WHY are you in business?

2.WHAT is your product?

3.WHO are your customers?

4.HOW do you operate?

5.WHEN do you make profit?

6.WHERE are you taking your business?

The Answers are personified in a dream team of business advisors – The Entrepreneur, The Craftsman, The Salesman, The Manager, The Accountant, and The Visionary – who dwell in the heart and mind of every business leader. In the Supplement on Government Performance, a seventh honest servant, The Steward, asks the the question: What IF governments were run like a profit making business?
